The full House approved yesterday by 375 votes to 15 a constitutional amendment establishing the direct and divorce ends the legal separation. The proposal must be approved in more than one shift in the House and two in the Senate. But lawyers in family law consider appropriate to maintain the legal separation in the law, even with the expiry of the period for divorce right.

Currently, to divorce, the couple must have at least one year of separation ordered by a judge or two of separation of fact (which still married but living separately). With the new law, couples would divorce soon after the decision of separation. "Most couples who opt for legal separation ends up getting divorced," says Nelson Sussumu lawyer specializing in family law. "But some may want only to separate to keep the door open for a reconciliation without the necessity of a marriage," he adds.

For Mr Sergio Barradas Carneiro (PT-BA), author of the amendment, "the way it works today, is spending on legal separation and then with the divorce. It still takes time for the judiciary, and for many couples, involves extending the pain , first with the legal separation and then with the divorce. " He also said that the continuing legal separation requirement was contrary to the parliamentary divorce. "It was a grant from Senator Nelson Carneiro, to approve the divorce. 34 years have passed and legal separation continues to exist. The change in the interest of 500 thousand Brazilians who separate and divorce a year." The information is the newspaper O Estado de S. Paul.
